Beautiful Impermanence / by renee mckenna

I lay in my lovers arms today and wept

With the beauty of a simple moment

The curves of our bodies

Sleepily intertwined

Open hearted

Connected

Breathing as one.

I lay vulnerable

And wept

Because each moment is a birth and a death

Unrepeatable

Impermanent

Beautiful

And tragic

At the same time

I felt the gift

Of being human

Of Life experiencing

Itself

Through me

Through him

How deep within each other we find the missing parts of ourselves

And become whole

If just for a moment

I lay in my lovers arms today and wept

In gratitude

For being

Open

alive

Awake

And fully human

At last.
